This year on This weekend in NFL stupid, we’re focusing on one extremely stupid winner with an honorable mention or two on a weekly basis. To close out Week 12 of the 2015 regular season, we look back on a strange decision (or lack thereof) from a coach who continues to make bad ones. The winner: […]

It’s kinda sorta true,

I understand that it’s easy to overreact when teams lose four out of five games, with the last of those losses coming in blowout fashion on national television. And those who still choose to defend Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly will rightly point out that he won 10 games in each of his first […]

The Seattle Seahawks are replacing a beast with a beast. Does it suck that they’ll be without Marshawn Lynch for at least the rest of the regular season after the perennial Pro Bowler underwent sports hernia surgery on Wednesday? Sure, because while the aging Lynch has been absent often this season and hasn’t been effective […]

Week 12 in the NFL is here, and you might be entering the weekend with your own preferences regarding which games to focus on, and which to place on the backburner. Most of you have your favorites and fantasy players to track. But in case you’re completely neutral or need help breaking ties with regard […]

When the Cleveland Browns decided to bench Johnny Manziel and the media decided to pile on after video emerged of the troubled quarterback parting in Texas during the team’s bye week, a lot of folks defended by Manziel by declaring that he didn’t break any laws and wasn’t doing something that a lot of NFL […]

In 2013, the Seattle Seahawks became the 19th member of the Super Bowl club, a fraternity that this century has also added the Ravens, Rams, Buccaneers and Saints. And there’s a decent chance that in 2015, the membership could expand to 20. That’s because with six weeks remaining in the regular season, four of the […]

With six weeks remaining in the 2015 NFL regular season, here’s how we view the MVP race… 1. Tom Brady, Patriots: The New England quarterback has come back to earth a little in the last three weeks and is coming off his worst game of the year. He’s no longer the league’s highest-rated passer but […]

What the hell is this? And this? And of course, this? Look, I’m a football fan and I usually couldn’t care less about what the players are wearing. It’s just completely immaterial. But at this point, so-called “special” jerseys have become a distraction. Good writers are wasting column inches on this topic and my Twitter […]

This year on This weekend in NFL stupid, we’re focusing on one extremely stupid winner with an honorable mention or two on a weekly basis. To close out Week 11 of the 2015 regular season, we look back on a questionably conservative decision from an interim head coach. The winner: Miami Dolphins head coach Dan […]

For the first time since October, the New Orleans Saints will NOT surrender 40-plus points this week. I can guarantee you that only because the Saints do not in fact play this week. Otherwise, there’d be no reason to expect a defense that has given up an insane 116 points in its last three games […]

The highest-rated passer in NFL history is mired in a small mid-prime slump, and it’s hard to determine what exactly is holding Aaron Rodgers back. All we know is the Packers are stuck in a three-game losing streak — the first such streak Rodgers has experienced since 2008, his first season as the team’s starter. […]

Sunday in Baltimore, Case Keenum will start in Baltimore for the St. Louis Rams. That’s because Nick Foles — who just two years ago posted the best touchdown-to-interception ratio and the third-best passer rating in NFL history while also leading the league with a 9.1 yards-per-attempt average — has been benched. How is it possible […]

With seven weeks remaining in the 2015 NFL regular season, here’s how we view the MVP race… 1. Tom Brady, Patriots — Tom Terrific did throw his third interception of the season (how dare he!) but the Patriots still moved to 9-0 and Brady was still solid. It helps his cause, though, that Andy Dalton […]
